Industry Reviews
Praise for the first edition:
'This is an extremely accessible and comprehensive introduction to global justice and its application to concerns that continue to threaten global cohabitation. Balancing theoretical richness with exacting practical application, this book is an absolute must-have for anyone interested in better understanding global justice and its scope. In fact, it should be required reading for any course featuring global justice!' - Garrett W. Brown, University of Leeds, UK
'This volume provides a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to some of the most important issues in global justice, including world poverty, human rights, cultural diversity, just war and immigration. Kok-Chor Tan does a terrific job in presenting complex ideas in a rigorous yet highly accessible style, drawing on the latest scholarship in political philosophy. This will be an excellent resource for students as well as for teachers.' - Massimo Renzo, King's College London, UK
'The text is accessible to the expected undergraduate audience but also to a broader readership, including advocated who desire to be a more effective for those whom they seek to serve. Thanks to its content and style, this text is well able to speak to those from a diverse range of backgrounds.' - Carolyn M. Evans, University of New South Wales, Australia
